Goku sniffed the air; scenting for his mate. The smell was faint, but he could pick up that he had been through these fields not too long ago. Grinning, the Saiyan pushed off into the air to see if he could scout for his mate from a higher view point.

Goku woke up that morning to find Vegeta in a particularly playful mood. While rather out of character for his normally grumpy spouse, Goku welcomed it and enjoyed spending the morning cuddling up to the smaller man. He had meant to ask him why he was being so touchy and smiley, but he hadn't wanted to spoil the mood.

Vegeta's playful mood continued on to the shower, where he eagerly scrubbed Goku's back before getting on his knees and blowing Goku's…erm…mind. Even at breakfast where Vegeta would normally sit and sulkily swallow his food; he was feeding Goku from his plate and even stealing from the other's!

At first, Goku had been worried that this was not Vegeta. The smaller man was positively glowing with happiness and his scent smelt a bit…off.

"Hey, Vegeta? Are you okay?"

"Perfectly happy," he chirped (another unusual action…but not unwelcome). "Why do you ask?"

"Well, you seem to be in a really good mood today and I was just wondering why."

He steeled himself for an explosion, but all he got was a brighter smile. Vegeta's eyes glinted quite mischievously as he twirled his tail about behind him.

"Tell you what, Kakarot," he purred. "I'll tell you why I'm so happy if you play a little game with me."

"What kind of game?"

"I get to hide anywhere in the world and you have to find me," he cheekily grinned. "And no using your Instant Trasmission! That's cheating! You have to find me by yourself."

"Sooo…we're playing hide and seek?" he asked, cocking his head to the side.

"Yes," he said slowly, then nodded confidently. "Yes, we're playing hide and seek. And if you don't find me by the end of the day, I won't tell you at all. We'll just play again next week until you find me."

With that, he gave his spouse a quick peck on the lips before streaking out the house and across the land in a blur of blue.

At first, Goku had been quite confused but that quickly gave way to excitement. No doubt it was his beloved mate, but his beloved mate obviously had a secret. He knew Vegeta loved keeping secrets because it was something he knew that no one else did. He also knew that Vegeta knew he liked challenges, and was challenging him for the information. With that in mind, he dashed out the house himself; hot on Vegeta's tail.

But the prince was nothing if not elusive. When Vegeta wanted to do something, he did it well and this was no exception. To Goku, it sounded as though Vegeta wanted to share whatever secret he had with him but he wasn't going to make it easy. He disappear just when Goku thought he had him, but then realized that maybe he hadn't been following Vegeta himself all this time. The prince was a tactician and could easily out maneuver Goku if he so wished.

At first, Goku thought he wasn't going to find him. The world was a very big place and it would be hard to find his smaller partner in cities despite his unique hairstyle. But, to his credit, Vegeta had left a trail of his scent to help Goku determine where he had gone.

Goku had gone to Paris, his old house, the Atlantic, West City, South City and even a strange village called Patatas. Finally, though, as he was passing through a valley, the scent of his mate got stronger. Just in time, too. It was nearly sunset!

Cloaking his ki, he stealthily made his way through the waist high glass and over a few hills before spotting his beloved basking in this river. As quietly as he could, he snuck up to the edge of the river and pounced on his mate. Vegeta gave a shout and turned to glare at the taller man; obviously upset for disturbing his peace.

"Got ya, 'Geta," he purred. The frowned melted off Vegeta's face.

"So you have."

"Soo," he crooned, nuzzling his neck. "Are you going to tell me now?"

"Well, you did manage to catch me before the day was out," he said teasingly.

"Okay, so what is it?"

Vegeta turned in his embrace, smiling happily up at Goku. For a moment, Goku's breath was taken away as he stared at the vision that was his. Vegeta was glowing with the late afternoon rays; his tanned skin shimmering almost golden in the red and pinks of the evening sun. He stared into his mate's dark eyes, feeling as the older man took his hand and slowly guided it down his chest and onto his belly.

'My goodness!' was his first thought. 'Vegeta really needs to exercise more! His stomach is getting a little round…'

His human thoughts halted as his Saiyan side gave it a good whack upside the head. Vegeta was constantly happy, playful, glowing and he had a near rounded belly? His human side tried to rear its head to point out that the conclusion he was leaning towards was ridiculous, but his Saiyan side stepped in again and beat it down with a cricket bat.

"V…Vegeta?" he asked softly. "Are you…"

"Can't you feel?"

Oh, Goku could feel, alright. He could feel a small pulse of ki, safely cradled in Vegeta's pelvis where it was slowly growing.

He was going to be a daddy again.

Goku's heart leapt into his throat and he couldn't but laugh happily. The smile on his face was so wide it almost hurt, but he didn't care as he picked up his mate by the waist and swung him around in joy.

"I'M GOING TO BE A DADDY AGAIN!"
